The mum has called on the social media firms to clamp down on harmful and abusive content
The mum of a Glasgow schoolgirl, who was bullied and attempted to take her own life following online rape threats, has slammed social media giants for allowing kids to spread damaging content through their platforms.
The mum has opened up amid fears for her daughter's safety. She believes stronger measures must be taken to prevent youths from sharing hateful content online. The mum also believes that the age requirements to create an account should be raised from 13 to 16 by tech companies- after her daughter was targetted by horrific levels of abuse.
The mum added: "She got a lot of abuse from people in her school who had seen the images, even in the corridors as she walked from classes. One boy threw cake at her and then threatened to rape her. "Her anxiety is awful and she can't make it past the front door on her own. I don't know if she will ever fully feel safe again."
